Matching a tri-hull Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 against a modified vee Hurricane Boats SD 2200 OB 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Hurricane Boats SD 2200 OB 2008 measures 22,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 at 18,8 feet (2011).
